La tragicómica historia del joven Alfred L'Ambert, un opulento y arrogante notario, campeón del foyer de la Ópera parisina, que en el curso de un lance por una hermosa dama pierde su nariz de una certera estocada. En su desesperado afán por recuperarla -la nariz, que no la dama-, monsieur L'Ambert encadenará su suerte, por arte y virtud de una intervención quirúrgica tan osada como prodigiosa, a la de un inocente y tosco aguador de provincias, prontamente corrompido para solaz y ulterior quebranto del desalmado notario. Inspirada en históricas especulaciones médicas -que fácilmente pueden remontarse al De sensu rerum et magia de Campanella-, y situada a medio camino entre la realidad cientÃfica y la ficción, La nariz de un notario de Edmond About constituye una brillante y divertidÃsima sátira del beau monde parisien; una suerte de teatro del absurdo que abunda en las relaciones de clase para promover, con el suceder de las páginas y los acontecimientos, una despiadada reflexión sobre los problemas del yo y la identidad, claves sin duda del éxito que en el pasado gozara esta obrita, firmada, por todo lo demás, por una de las plumas más elegantes e injustamente olvidadas de la literatura decimonónica francesa.
